Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Some time ago I built an alarm using a radar module an E-28 and an ESP8266.
I could switch it on and off using my phone and it would send me an email if triggered.
I had to use port forwarding and have changed my service provider so have to set port forwarding again.




Can someone tell me what I have to put in the above fields.

I assume its a web interface, so port 80 for the internal port. You can use port 80 externally, or port 81 if you want less chance of someone stumbling across it.
For "Service", choose HTTP if its a option, or WWW. The internal host would be the ip of the 8266.

I'm currently using a ESP32 as a solar controller with web interface. I used port 81 externally, as port 80 is forwarded to my server.

Do you have a public external IP or does your provider use CGNAT?
CGNAT is becoming very common and that would make any external access difficult.

Your provider might also block access using common ports such as 80. If so you should be able to have that block removed.
